Houdini and Nuke BenchMarks

Heya Guys Hope You are well it is mine post here, so I am really new but really exciting Wendel stuff!
I am planning build mine Threadripper, I have access to get any of those CPU, but I really wishing to see how it is performs in those apps.

Could You please do some benchmarks for Your CPUs. I have posted similar post in Reddit but I think it is not going through well. here https://www.reddit.com/r/threadripper/comments/1maky18/comment/n5k4n41/?context=3

I am never seen 96 core and 24/32 core CPUs in those benchmarks how it is acting very very interesting, and new models it is would be amazing to see !

it is have 2 benchmarks in 2 software Houdini and Nuke it is shoud works on non comercial version.

Foundry Nuke

  1. Home Page

or if You have it You need also Pixel Fudger Gizmo

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miC-x1zLor0

  2. Pixelfudger 3.4v1

and how it is test

Houdini

  1. Download | SideFX

for Houdini You can find out link in this page, also with other tests

  1. You could copy link clicking on here link on site and download , it is have 3 Houdini scenes.
    it is 3 scenes for FLIP, Smoke,Grain.
    You could open scene, and run Play, but it is request turn on any timer in seconds to record how it is time gets.

if You going to post results You could post it is here how much time been spend in seconds with Your Specs hardware and version OS or You could post it is on owner`s page.

for Nuke - it is automatically posting on owner`s page with Pixel Fudger but it is clearly show in Youtube channel where Autor show how to lauch this test and how post results.

here results for Nuke.

Thank You! and have a great time.

Cheers!

quick Update :
Some update found on Youtube with these Houdini tests, but cant share link here, so I had update link on reddit. and also update spreadsheet, and predict/ estimate 9995wx with trends tests. but still cant find tests for this CPUs in current Houdini test.
Thanks

Heya @wendell I knew You could do it :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands: Please

Heya @wendell , Yeah so for Houdini, on VFX Arabia site it is have 3 scenes, for simulations Pyro, Grain, Flip(ocean sims), all those 3 tests really different, as I understand Pyro is most of show Maximum Cores perfomance, For Grain it is also very differently perfomance I think it is 99% CPU load, and Flip it is 70-99% loading CPU.

information from site:

Back to the tests and all you have to do is:

  • Open the Hip file.
  • Dial in the resolution numbers as in the chart.(((Last time we are using only those parameters [Pyro] 0,02 , [Grain] 0,01 , [Flip] 0,05 )))
  • Go the performance monitor tab and hit record.(in top menu You could find )
  • Hit go to the last frame.
  • Wait until the simulation is finished and grab the result from the performance monitor.
  • Convert it to seconds please.
  • Done.
  • Note: Opencl is off in the files so leave it as is.

I could upload image and follow You how to make a test

a) Open Houdini
b) File open Pyro it is first test
c) then lets using steps what in the Picture

  1. select Pyro what in the right hand side area and it is show №1
  2. watch if Division Size is equals 0.02
  3. Go to Top menu Windows ->Perfomance Monitor
  4. Click on Record (it is start when You are will start steo 5 )
  5. select on Last Frame

on the end You will see time on the Opened Window Perfomance Monitor(3) in seconds - on The end simulation watch write down Your results.

for Grain and Flip(Ocean) same things
it is slightly different nodes on node Graph, but I`ll upload image and You could easy peasy lemon squeeze follow with there steps.


I hope thats helps, Let me know if You are stuck or so, I am happy to help, Thank You so much.

here is VFX Arabia site https://www.vfxarabia.co/post/houdini-benchmark-cores-vs-clockspeed-updated

I am trying click on here link, but it is not working, You should better right click on this link and copy, and then paste in new window to download. Hope this is helps. Cheers!

Houdini Apprentice free version to run test

in restriction some infromation how to properly install, but for Installation Houdini You need download Launcher, old or new it is up to You are, not sure if something changed.

Heya @Wendell I knew You are super busy man, and don`t want bother Your team too much, but yeah any Luck for any Benchmarks? is it needs any help for Nuke as well? let me know, Cheers!

@L1Sean you can probably start pre-posting benchmark numbers here if you want since it’ll take us a bit to then do a video on it.

Heya @wendell ,yeah, for Houdini i have already google spreadsheet with timing results - onverted in seconds as well and minutes too and gradation colors as well, for nuke it is also have speeadsheet but it is owner’s spreadsheet by PxF. Can’t wait to see yours 9995wx and if it have other models in your facility it is just would amazing to see, and please no PBO must have, but if You are have time would be amazing do with PBO as well as alternative.

@wendell Hope those tabs is very helps for make nice video stuff and graphs in compare! :grinning:
and btw for Nuke it is should posting into web page, -here is how https://youtu.be/_WOVISzi9E8?t=225

and once after publish results, we might see results automatically in spreadsheet!
Thanks

Heya Guys @L1Sean @wendell , I have a quick question, do You think we could see anything soon? Or You planing make video and release it is soon? sorry for stupidly attack and ask, just looking information. Thank You! Cheers!

Good timing to ask! I was just about to come in and provide some benchmarks lol. Here are the results we got from the Houdini benchmarks. We tested it across 3 different systems.

Pyro

Grain

Ocean (Flip)

Nuke benchmarks are on the way as well but I figured I’d provide these while I already had them!

Heya @L1Sean ! Aaaaaa WOW Finalyyyyyy! Thank You! btw is this done with PBO as I understood, could You approve or dissaprove Please? :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Edit:
for quick check is the correct resolution for all tests?
Pyro resolution 0.02
Grain resolution 0.01
FLIP resolution 0.05

Thanks

P.S Can`t wait to see Jaw drop Houdini and VFX Artists!
For nuke You think You could do as well for all those 3 PC? it is would be just sweet! :sparkling_heart:

@L1Sean also, I think would be amazing to add Resolution for Each test
something like that
